Excellent

This poem is enjoyable as a stand alone poem, but even better as a special message for Brooke. Good job with the format, rhyme, color scheme, and word choices. I love the last 2 lines the best. Everything you used to compose this poem makes it special. Good job and thanks for sharing.

A beautiful tribute in deed for a most gracious lady who has given and ministered grace to others. It was a good touch in the first stanza to write dandelions and vases, I could see a 10-1 poem flowing from her pen, a sonnet is a fitting tribute, Sandra, nice even reading, eloquent and smooth, well done, blessings, Roy

Thank you, Roy! I do hope she will be able to read all the poems. I think there will be quite a few written, she has touched so many lives on here with all her help. Thanks again, my friend. xxx Sandra

Hi Sandra - so many heartfelt messages from FS members and this one from you is lovely. We all know she loves her dandelions and you have included them in this lovely poem of yours. Reading your author notes, lovely message. Most of all you wish her back to health, as we all do. Warm regards Dorothy xx

Thank you, Dorothy. It was such a shock to hear how ill she is. I do hope she is able to do some more writing, but it doesn't sound too good. Thanks again, my friend. xxx

Heartwarming and well written. You said it all in just a few words while expressing a deep love and humility. Brooke is a lucky girl with much to live for and be thankful for!

Thank you so much, Judy. It is so sad. I feel really upset for Miranda, she is so close to her mum. Thanks again, my friend. xxx

Ooh, this is a lovely image and poem. Well done in creating a special Get Well message for Brooke. I too, hope she gets well too. Brooke is such a good poetry writer that I feel too afraid to add a chapter to this special book dedicated to her. Well done with your delightful good wishes. We know she likes dandelions.

Thank you, Nicole, I was so upset to hear about this very aggressive type of MS, it has hit her hard straight away. I have a friend who has had it for years, and I didn't know that there were different grades. And Brooke has the worst one. So very sad. Nicole, don't be so hard on yourself, I have read some of your poetry and it is very good. Have a go! :) xxx

Excellent poem! I am from Madrid and I came to live in California when I was 16 years old.

I like the way you write. The rhythm of your poem and the sound are superb; and I like the format and picture you chose.

It seems almost impossible for the site to function without Brooke and her daily posts. Like you I wish for her recovery.

Your lovely poem in sonnet form would please her I am sure. You focus on the things she loves and tie them all together with great rhyme and meter.

I as going to ask how to add a chapter to this book, but I think I see the answer written above your poem.

Steve

A beautiful poem filled with rainbows, dandelions and clover that all lead to hugs and love
What a wonderful poem for a wonderful person
Perfectly rhymed as she loved to do, with playful alliteration, and of course, enjambment
Great picture to poem match, framed in gold
Wonderful poem and tribute
